genuinely curious how many people remaining at Twitter are actively looking for other jobs right now

there was a recent article that said it was most of them

i get it, it's like looking at a car crash but I don't know why anyone would read Elon's reply guys.

What ads? I haven’t seen an ad in weeks.I haven’t seen a tweet with more than two replies that doesn’t also have ads in the replies for weeks.

Musk's description of that guy is a completely accurate description of Musk himself

i got an ad for the san diego zoo and it was the only ad I have not immediately blocked in months.

i have a long term experiment going where i block all ads except for junk food and booze to see if they will just serve me those, conclusion: no

The replies from Elon simps cheering on that guy's firing is incredibly depressing.
like racist reply guys on a Sadiq Khan thread I use these chuds to up my list of blockees, at least until I master that aneurysm-via-tweet thing gyac mentioned above

I definitely wish that Twitter sent them a message when you block em, like "Stevie blocked you because you're a worthless danger"
This guy's good. Halli, I mean. The whole thread is great.
hitting the most divorced man alive with a “i sleep in a big bed with my wife” is killing me lmao https://t.co/i663ApGHVD— maybe: xavier (@couldbexav) March 7, 2023

I saw also that this Halli guy is allegedly really generous with his money in Iceland and seems to be a really well liked guy. But even if he was a miserable grump, it's still fucking appalling to see Musk do that in public and ultra depressing to see the chuds cheering him on.
I just want this fuck to go away forever.

I joined at a time when the company was growing fast. You kind of did the opposite.There was a lot going on. The company had a fair amount of issues, but then again, most bigger companies do.Or even small companies, like Twitter today.— Halli (@iamharaldur) March 7, 2023

Look at the hits in this thread.
We worked for more or less every big tech company. We grew fast and made money. I think that's what you are referring to when you say independently wealthy?That I independently made my money, as opposed to say, inherited an emerald mine.— Halli (@iamharaldur) March 7, 2023

wow. the guy, Halli, that Elon Musk has been mocking is not only a class act, but was literally on a list of "do not fire" VIPs because of how expensive his exit package was (likely because, if what Halli's other tweets say are true, Twitter acquired his company for a good price) https://t.co/H1skqNyiHI— Dan Seljak (@anotherglassbox) March 7, 2023
did Elon have any clue who this guy was before he started mocking him?? can't imagine how many lawyers are chomping at the bit to take his case
― frogbs, Tuesday, 7 March 2023 16:40 (one year ago) link
lmao, it does seem like he knew who he was and just didnt care, tbf hes lit so much money on fire already adding that guys compensation to it prob doesnt matter much
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 7 March 2023 16:43 (one year ago) link
i mean, why would he start expecting any negative consequences at this point? he's free to do whatever the fuck he wants.
― Maxmillion D. Boosted (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 7 March 2023 16:47 (one year ago) link
yeah he's just going to stonewall this guy in litigation, I feel bad for him
― 龜, Tuesday, 7 March 2023 17:01 (one year ago) link
there is a non-zero chance that musk can use expensive lawyers to flatten this guy and pay him absolutely nothing
― Camaraderie at Arms Length, Tuesday, 7 March 2023 17:06 (one year ago) link
it does seem like he knew who he was and just didnt care
idk it seems every time something breaks on Twitter there are employees (or ex-employees) stunned at how little Elon seems to know about how Twitter actually runs, I would not be surprised if Elon saw the word "Figma", thought he was being trolled, and now has to double down on it because he's that dumb? sorta like how he got forced into buying Twitter in the first place?
― frogbs, Tuesday, 7 March 2023 17:12 (one year ago) link
idk he def a least found out who the guy was at some point because he was sharing info about him
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 7 March 2023 17:14 (one year ago) link
yeah I think he found out after he started talking shit about him, that's kind of how Elon operates

yeah then once he realized the guy was for real he doubled down to save face makes sense

Elon being one of the single-app dummies explains a lot
I get playing dumb as a bit on twitter but the thing that irritates me is people doing "I don't know what that is" or asking for explanations of what easily-searchable entities are because they refuse to do anything other than scroll and reply
I guess that's an argument for the all-in-one apps, just make it so you can click on any word and the wiki entry pops up. Not that he's going to read that, either
